“Disgrace” (Unrated, adults, 118 minutes). A white Cape Town professor is fired for misbehavior, and goes to live with his daughter on her remote farm. Here events take place that confront him with the fundamental changes in post-apartheid South Africa. Not a feel-good parable, but a painful, challenging examination of deep feelings, magnificently acted by John Malkovich, Jessica Haines as his daughter, and Eriq Ebouaney as her African farm manager. Based on the Booker Prize-winning novel by Nobel Laureate J.M. Coetzee. Four stars.
